Prolouge:

There was an echoing clank as the lock slide back, and the large door swung open. Light flooded the dark room, causing a young girl to wince from the pain the sudden light caused. She pressed herself farther into the corner she sat in, the cold metal bars of the cage pressing painfully into her back. She- if it was even possible- pressed herself farther still when three people stepped intot the doorway. The man in the middle grabbed a clipboard from the wall and walked down the rows of cages. As he neared her cage, the girl sucked in a frightened breath of air.

' Not me. Please don't let it be me again', she pleaded in her mind. She almost cried out when he stopped infront of her cage.

"Let's test this one again. She fights back after a while"m he said to his friends by the door. He knelt down and opened the door. He had to reach far to be able to grab her, but when he did, he grabbed a fistful of hair and all but dragged her from the cage. She was taken down the hall and into a larger room, where she was thrown onto the floor. The men sat down at a table as another door off to the side opened. Four large men walked in. Each was extremely beautiful, but she knew that was just a trick. The moved to circle her, and she snapped her eyes shut. She reopened them when she felt herself being lifted from the ground. The biggest of the mean was holding up by the collar of her shirt, and with a cruel smile, he threw her with a tremendous force across the room.

'Oh crap', she thought as she sailed through the air. Lokking behind her, she already felt the pain. She hit the wall hard, and was positive she felt she right shoulder crack, just above her wing. She slide to the floor and held her shoulder. The sahdow of the man loomed over her, then...

She jolted upright, breathing hard. She looked around and relaxed when she realized she was in her room.

"Just a dream", She gasped. Taking a deep breath, she lay back down. 'Let's try this again', she thought, closing her eyes. No more than a mintue later, she was asleep.
